I don’t know why I’m surprised these decals exist, but Jesus H. Macy. Come on, humans, be better.

Yeah, I mean sure, they may have over-simplified some stuff when they launched, but good lord, it is so much worse now, apparently. They seem to have lost the plot like whoa.

I guess I count as a subscriber. I subscribed when it first launched because I liked the idea of getting a quick news brief every morning. But yeah, I read it for like three days and then called it quits (out of curiosity, the other day, I actually opened a Skimm email in the first time in like two years or whenever…

That is really cool!

Thanks! The apartment I was renting before I bought was fully open concept, and I swear, I think the partial compartmentalization makes the condo feel bigger, not smaller.

My condo is semi-open concept? Like, there are partial walls between the kitchen and dining room and living room, and another partial wall between the living room and the sitting room (and that wall has a two-way fireplace that I LOVE). But honestly, I wasn’t really focused on floor plan when I was looking for condos,…

You beat me to it. I assumed that since he’s British, she was using British slang.

This. And daily discrimination and micro-aggressions can lead to additional stress and things like hypertension.

Of fucking COURSE it’s Southwest doing this.

It looks like a CGI body to me.

Well, it’s decided then, I’ll go back and read The Blind Assassin again. This has been a productive discussion :-).

It’s SO GOOD. Hmm, maybe I’ll re-read that one before revisiting the MadAddam trilogy. I also bought her recent book of short stories and read about half of them before getting distracted by my desire to re-read Life After Life, but I should go back to the short stories.

Yeah, I am so here for a MadAddam show. I want to go back and re-read the trilogy from the beginning.

I’ve only been acquaintances with one stand-up comic (or wannabe stand-up comic), and he is one of the worst people I have ever met. He is cripplinginly insecure and lashes out in really crazy ways. He’s make me think that comics might not be that much fun to be around.

I’m an Atlantan who roots for the Penguins. It’s fun.

Hopefully she packed some Clairol!

Right? Why on earth would we want Kate and Leo to get together? He’s a serial modelizer who dumps women when they expire (read: dare to turn an age past 25), which doesn’t give me inspire much confidence where women are concerned. I feel like he’s probably a lazy, selfish lay, and Kate can do better.

I guess we’re supposed to believe the 1960s makeup was aging her? I kind of wanted to her to keep the cat eye and bring it back to Scotland.

I think you’re right. They’re like, eh, they happily suspended disbelief for time traveling through magic rocks, so fuck it, let’s just make them look like super sexy 35-year-olds and call it a day.

She must have found some damn good face cream in 1960s Boston.
